Review: Upscale Semi-UG place on West 38th

#1
Recently I discovered this fairly upscale semi-underground place on the West 38th, between 8th and 9th. Sorry, I didn't catch the name of the place. Its on the 5th floor of a building that seems commercial, but I was told by one of the dancers that its a residential building.

The cover is a little stiff at $50. I believe you have to be a member or be escorted by a member. I went with a friend who is a member. The steep cover is somewhat offset by the fact that it is BYOB.

The place is really nice and plush. It is spread across three separate rooms. The main room is setup like a large living room or like a hotel lobby with nice couches and chairs. There is a bar in one corner where they stock soft drinks, water etc. You give your booze to the bartender behind that bar, and he serves from that stock to people in your party. Mixers for your drinks are on the house. There is also a buffet station with decent quality hot food. This room is the main mingling room where you chat with the dancers or just chill on the couches with your drink and munchies laid out on the tables. The other two rooms are LD rooms. Again, nice rooms with couches and beds. There are folding partitions affording some sort of privacy in these rooms.

The talent is very good. A good mix of dancers from around the world. Saw a couple from Kazakstan, one Japanese, an Israeli, a Korean, a few natives etc. Overall, I would rate the talent from 6-9.

LDs are $20 per. The length seemed to be longer than typical SCs. Tops come off in the LD room. Mostly free roaming, except for insertion. Saw one performer remove the bottoms as well, though I learned that she asked for an extra $20 for that.

There is a private room which I didn't visit, so don't know how the room is. I understood the room cost to be $160 and the rest to be worked out with the dancer.

Overall a nice place with a great ambience and good talent. Will definitely visit again.

This is getting ridiculous. Why do all reviews of Fat Lou's "Hot Lap Dance Party" all read essentially the same ? Does he hand out "talking points" or just write the review himself and ask guys like you to post it ? Tuscl is polluted with numerous glowing fictional accounts of how great Lou's parties are.Most written by Lou himself under various names and aliases.
He's been busted at it numerous times and before he "banned" me from his boring and overpriced skank parades, I told him to his face to knock it off as he was hurting his own cred.
Thorn and I can both vouch for Lou's willingness to try and re-write history.

Forgive me for acting like a one-man "Truth Squad" but I consider it essential to share FACTSwith my fellow UG'ers & then let them make their own decisions.
Yes, Lou's facility is first class. Clean, modern and spacious.
Buffet is of decent quality and it's free.
If he stopped charging for mixers and soft drinks- it's news to me and my sources. He always used to charge for EVERYTHING except bathroom usage.( They were never large enough to permit Lou to stand by the sink and collect tips.)

The talent is almost entirely amateurs who couldn't get hired or make money in a straight tittie bar. A lot of ink.No work-out warriors. Very few enhanced ladies. Usually range from 4 to 8 in looks; 0 to 5 or 6 in performance. NO EXTRAS ; limited OTC and for the most part-WHO'd WANT TO ? He does get a few cuties; usually 1 or 2 a night ; at most.

Afaic, he charges $50 at the door. Hustler charges $20 and both charge for coat check.
The difference being I KNOW I can get serious action at Hustler or better yet make my own arrangements for OTC action at a mutually convenient time and place. Best of luck trying to get anything comparable at Lou's.

Ouch! I seem to have stepped on a nerve here...... This was my first time at this place, and I hadn't seen any other reviews of this place, so it was new to me. I don't know what "tuscl" is and haven't read any reviews of this place there, and up until this post of yours, I had no knowledge about the promoters of this place.

Though, the facts you reported in this post don't seem all that different from my report. We both agreed that the place is nice, food is decent and free. I only rated the talent on their looks, and our ratings are similar there. I made no claims on extras, except for stating that there is a private room available. My friends and I were indeed not charged for mixers and soft drinks, and I didn't see anyone else getting charged for them either. I did forget to mention the $3 coat check charge :)

I guess the only thing we disagree on is whether this experience is worth $50 cover or not. That's clearly a matter of opinion....

Well, this bd. is built on OPINIONS and yours are just as worthy as anyone else's.TUSCL is a well-known strip club review site. Lou was busted numerous times for self-posting on it. (It's like when an escort self-posts on ***.) I called him on it; he admitted it and I advised him not to do it and for a while he stopped. Then he resumed with a vengeance.

Is it worth $50 ? Not to me. Not based on ANY of my visits there which are now admittedly dated BUT my sources ALL report that there has NOT been any influx of great new talent
and if anything the menus have contracted so now you're paying more for less.

This spot location sounds like that's where a club called passions used to be. I think it was run by Asian management with all WOC's working there as dancers. $50 door fee does seem a little steep. They could at least give customers a ticket for a free dance or something. Finally - for a $160 VIP you might as well take her to a hotel for a couple of hours! Peace out.

I am pretty sure this place has been discussed. It is essentially a lap dance place, and through personal experience & other reports, really no extras besides some touchy-feeling, and maybe some dfk. Take-out is always a possibility as it is anywhere, but I have not heard of this occurring. Very hot girls when I was there too.

Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated"

Hey, I doubt I am posting in the right place. I can't seem to start a new thread. However I haven't been around for a REALLY long time and got curious to see what people had written about me. Most of you know me as Alexis Rose, real friends actually knew me as Jessica. Anyway, looking for some old friends. If you know any of my old fans let them know I'm around. Again, I apologize b/c I know I'm not posting this in the right place. Can someone tell me the right place to post this? Also I am only posting here, not on CL or any other BS.. I'm only tring to see some "old friends"

Can't a nigger get a table dance??

Can someone please post actual info here, instead of vague clues, so that an elderly war hero can get his hands on some quality white meat??

I'd also like to know if the foot party ever resurfaced. I used to get some pretty decent action there.

HLD club

pretty much what others have said. lou is sort of a jerk, & assume he's the one who's getting a few "extras". when i went, he was all over a couple of what appeared to be his squeezes, but that is just an observation. many girls, although mostly eastern european, with several "exotics" thrown in for good measure. some were quite cute, & as an aside, my type, long, tall, thin. unfortunately, they already know the score, & "get the joke", i.e., very little offered unless the bills come out, this on top of stiff entry fee + that stupid annoying membership fee card crap!!!

anyway, very sterile. took a dance with a very cute "older" woman, thin, however short, great hard-body, with very hard breasts, which i personally dislike, but assume she did it to make a better appearance when she removes her top. any extras by her, would be worth it, but did not go there. doubt if will return to help lou pay the rent & take one of his girls on vacation.

The main selling point of this place to me is that it's open late and better than any traditional New York City stripclub I've been to. So if you have an urge at 2am, even with the bullshit $50 fee, it's probably cheaper and more convenient than your other options at that hour. Some girls LFK or DFK. A lot of nice, natural tits, especially on those petite eastern european types, which I like. They could improve the place by lowering the entry fee Mon-Wed. It's dead early in the week.

I have not posted in a while but have been a member a long time I have been to a couple of lou's parties ever since he started with the ld parties on 26 st on the 4th or fifth floor then moved it to a club on 26 or 27 st it was a bar and has always charged 20 to get in but ever since mike on 36 st opened up his shop and charged 40 to get in he raised his price to 50 since then mike has closed down and lou is still charging 50 in any case I think lou is stupid for charging so much since there was better quality at mikes anyway
and it was a more laid back experience with plenty of extras and lou's place like the posts I see would always be more of tip this and tip that type of place anyone know where mike is theses days always liked his parties better

Is this an amazing coincidence or what I wouldn't have even given it a second thought until I saw this thread revived.. Maybe this guy Lou has decided to try promoting in drag. You decide! AS I SAID IT JUST AN AMAZING COINCIDENCE! In the past few days I got ***** from some girl named Donna Balbuena <donnanyc81@XXXX.com for a lap dance party. $50.00 at the door and she did anopen cc mailing to 100's of people. I believe tehy had at one time advertised on CL to do a voyeur only live sex show, THEY WERE OFFERING AT THE BARGAIN PRICE OF $375.
Her response to my 2 inquiry's AND ASKING IF THEY WERE ANYTHING LIKE B&G were:

Hi,

Yes it is of the same nature as Bump & Grind. Your address is saved as a contact in Gmail. You communicated to us regarding a service via Craigslist. It involved some type of voyeuristic show that we perform and there was communication. We are only inviting those selected guests that are screened. We will be discrete with inviting guests and would only need to confirm your RSVP with a phone call to (212)XXX-XXXXX kindly leave your name and telephone number to receive your confirmation. Once you are confirmed we will give you the address of the party and password for your admission.

Please advise if you decide to RSVP before 6PM Saturday and you can bring up to 3 guests of your discretion. It will be a decent upscale party with some lovely looking hott ladies. I hope that I have answered your questions.

We look forward to hosting you on Saturday.

Thank you.
Donna
and
Hi Sorry about the *****. I am new to sending out multiple *****s and I forgot that I had to BCC. About the party, this is a Lap Dance party with some very high end dancers. The admission will include complimentary drinks girl on girl shows and stage strip shows. Lap dances are the the same as in any normal club. $20-25. The only difference is that the it will be more private and the quality of the dancers top notch as well as exclusive and discrete.

If you are interested in attending please send me your contact telephone by ***** or feel free to fax in your RSVP info with only the names of your guests to (212) xxx-xxxx.
Thanks and best regards,
Donna
I'm sure I canfind a betterselection of entertainment on youporn or redtube or as someone mentioned the Hustler club for less than half the admission price!

I really don't think anything like Bump and Grind will ever come close, but never say never. I still think Bump and Grind was a once or maybe twice in a lifetime.

Never say Never. I think he was spooked by LE.

What we need is to get the Dem's back in power, the more lebrial the better. Only then will the adult scene improve.

Oboma is a Start.
